This is a recipe I have been making for a very long time! I absolutely LOVE bananas, I eat them everyday… and when I was in my mid 20’s and trying to fit in university, sport, a part time job, and a social life (of sorts!), I used to make this as a ‘grab and go’ / ‘lunchbox’ – type snack. I now make it for my busy family for the same reason, and it is always a winner… a full loaf barely lasts us 48 hours!

This loaf is so yummy, full of fibre, Low GI for sustained energy and balanced blood sugars and just SO easy to make (no strange ‘health food shop only’ ingredients).

So for busy mum’s, families with active children or teenagers, or busy working couples, this is especially for you. I have made some modifications over the years and this is how I do it:

(These days I literally ‘throw it all in and stir like mad… usually because it is 6 am or 11 pm when I am making it!) The proper way is:

Preheat oven to 150 degrees celcius

Line a loaf tim with baking paper

put flour and almond meal (if using) into a bowl and mix through the bi-carb soda

Add mashed banana, oil, eggs and honey

Stir until mixture is smooth (may have banana lumps), it will be a runny mixture.

Pour into loaf tin and bake for 45 mins on 150 degrees C, fan forced. Make sure you check it after 35 mins as some ovens are hotter that others… strange but true.

Leave to cool in tin for 10 mins.

I usually eat it plain, hot from the oven. You can put light cream cheese or olive oil spread on it, but it really doesn’t need it… oh and I vaguely remember (when it was just me), that it lasts in a air tight container for almost a week!
